In the evening, I don’t walk in the park”: Perceived design qualities, safety and neighbourhood walkability

Introduction. Walking as a means of transportation is central in sustainable urban design. Little focus has, however, been placed on the influence of micro-level environmental features, such as vegetation and street lighting, on perceived safety and walking.Method. This study applied a non-explicit approach to explore the impact of greenery and outdoor lighting on neighborhood walkability. Partici

Out with the new, in with the old! Revitalizing existing communities for sustainability and subjective wellbeing

Urbanisation as a megatrend shows no signs of weakening globally, or in the Nordic countries. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of environmental impacts are generated in cities. This derives from the economic growth generated by cities, as the decoupling of economic activity from environmental impacts has not been successful to date. Moreover, from a built environment perspective, urbani

The Right to Life under the EU Charter and the Cooperation with Third Countries to Combat Human Smuggling

According to the EU policy documents ‘[s]aving lives of people in distress is a primary goal of EU action in relation to managing the EU external borders.’ The chosen means for achieving this objective is taking measures against human smuggling and human trafficking; these measures include the establishment of cooperation with countries of origin and transit so that migrants’ movement is prevented

The user experiences of the futures wheel method advancing futures thinking in the field of built environment

There is a clear need to foresee future development and identify the possible future impacts of different elements to ensure conscious and sustainable decision making in the field of built environment. However, the level of awareness and knowhow of potential methods to assist in this task is still low among market actors as real estate education has been unable to respond to the situation. There i

Association Between Soft Drink Consumption and Mortality in 10 European Countries

Importance: Soft drinks are frequently consumed, but whether this consumption is associated with mortality risk is unknown and has been understudied in European populations to date.Objective: To examine the association between total, sugar-sweetened, and artificially sweetened soft drink consumption and subsequent total and cause-specific mortality.Design, Setting, and Participants: This populatio

Migrant Entrepreneurship Beyond Place and Space: A Call to Explore the Roles of Family Across Borders and Contexts

Migration is an important global phenomenon fostering entrepreneurship. Migrants are individuals who are moving or have moved across an international border, or nationally across different regions or provinces, away from their habitual place of residence (UN Migration Agency, 2019). These individuals are considered migrants regardless of what their legal status is, whether the movement is voluntar

Mer expansiv finanspolitik löser inte Sveriges problem

DEBATT. I ljuset av den försämrade konjunkturen höjs allt fler röster för en generösare finanspolitik. Men Sveriges ekonomiska utmaningar går djupare och budskapet från bland annat Japan och USA är tydligt: stora budgetunderskott höjer inte tillväxten på sikt, skriver Fredrik NG Andersson och Lars Jonung vid Lunds universitet.

Progression of Self-Assembly of Amelogenin Protein Supramolecular Structures in Simulated Enamel Fluid

Mechanisms of protein-guided mineralization in enamel, leading to organized fibrillar apatite nanocrystals, remain elusive. In vitro studies reveal recombinant human amelogenin (rH174), a matrix protein templating this process, self-assembles into a variety of structures. This study endeavors to clarify the self-assembly of rH174 in physiologically relevant conditions. Self-assembly in simulated e

Artificial neural networks improve and simplify intensive care mortality prognostication: a national cohort study of 217,289 first-time intensive care unit admissions

Purpose We investigated if early intensive care unit (ICU) scoring with the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS 3) could be improved using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Methods All first-time adult intensive care admissions in Sweden during 2009-2017 were included. A test set was set aside for validation. We trained ANNs with two hidden layers with random hyper-parameters and retained the

Entanglements of History : Narratives, Memories and Visual Communication

Krakus Mound, a pre-historic man-made hill in Krakow, provides a magnificent panorama of the city. The opposite direction opens up to a gravel pit named Kamieniołom Libana. Here, a Jewish entrepreneur, Bernard Liban, founded a company for the production of limestone and fertilizers in 1873. Later on, the plant was used as a Nazi labor camp. At the place where this camp was situated, the American fKrakus Mound, a pre-historic man-made hill in Krakow, provides a magnificent panorama of the city.

Kill Your Favorite Dish : Examining the Role of New Carnivorism in perpetuating Meat Eating

Scholars and activists opposing the killing of nonhuman animals have long shared the assumption that the invisibility of the animals killed for meat is one of the most sig- nificant factors when it comes to explaining how meat eating is perpetuated. However, a recent tendency towards a new visibility of these animals and their physical trans- formation into meat fundamentally challenges this assum
